Canal boat holidays in Brandebourg

Start your canal boating holiday from the Nicols base at Fürstenberg and get ready to be charmed by the following highlights of this region of Germany.

• A natural paradise: observe the varying landscapes and vegetation that’s between the lakes, rivers and canals. The region is hugely diverse when it comes to flora and fauna and bird lovers will want to head to Lake Müritz as it is the ideal place to be on the look-out for eagles, cormorants, cranes and osprey.
• Excellent swimming opportunities: if you like swimming then you’ll love the clear waters that fill this fascinating region of lakes. The water is of exceptional quality and among the purest in Europe – at certain times of the year it is possible to have clear vision at up to 12 metres deep. It’s not just swimmers who thrive on the water quality – fishermen also love these waters!
• A rich historical heritage: your canal boat will transport you to some fantastic historical treasures. Heading in a north-west direction (towards Mecklenburg) you’ll visit: Rheinsberg with its Rococo architecture style palace; Mirow with its curious lakeside houses topped with thatched roofs; the half-timbered houses of Röbel; Waren and the "Müritzeum", a visitor centre for the Müritz National Park. Alternatively heading south-east (towards Brandenburg) you’ll have the opportunity to explore: Himmelpfort, known as the ‘capital of fishing’ (try the local specialty of smoked fish) ... and also known as the hometown of Santa Claus! Lastly stop-off at Templin, a charming little town surrounded by walls.

For customers with a boat license, Berlin and Potsdam are also popular destinations. Please contact us for boating holiday itinerary suggestions that take in these places also.
